Cagney from Peru to Cleethorpes!


The CCLR played host to visiting Cagney locomotive for several days in early July 2007...


..seen here on a one coach train at Kingsway station on 9/7/07.


The loco was one of 4 built by the Cagney brothers in 1904 for the World Trade Fair in New York.
It was found in Peru with internal combustion engine, having worked in a theme park there.


It was brought to England by Lawrence and son Jeremy Martin where restoration took place and a new boiler built.

Is the Cagney driver showing slight signs of envy?
